Finally!
You don't know what it's like, you really don't. I finished the book, was very happy with it, and then took a few days of doing nothing before starting The End Of The World and some other stuff. And all the while I'd be reading your comments, and the comments on the Forums and Facebook, and smiling because everyone seemed to be looking forward to it so much.
But that was MONTHS ago!
To have to sit here and watch all of you count down the days made me feel so incredibly guilty for putting you through that. But now, finally, the wait is over. It is September 1st. It is Death Bringer day.
The Launch last night in Dublin was manic...! It turned into a marathon signing session, and it had Storm Troopers! STORM TROOPERS! I didn't get a chance to chat to any of the people I know and usually see at launches, because I was staring at the Storm Troopers and then signing books and staring at Boba Fett and signing books...
'Twas a good way to launch Death Bringer, so thank you Eason's bookshop!
And what will I be doing today, you ask? The day of the release? Will I be doing interviews and attending champagne parties? Er... no. I will be cleaning my house. I'm off on tour tomorrow, and as usual Laura will be staying here while I'm gone, so I have to get the place ready for her or she'll glare at me. And you've never been glared at by Laura. It's SCARY.
So all of you who have just bought the book, I hope you like it. The previous blog entry is still the ONLY place you can post spoilers, so don't do that here. And even in the previous entry, try to HINT at the spoilers instead of blurting them out. Because there are SOME people, who will remain nameless, who felt the need to SKIM the spoilers and were dismayed when certain things were spoiled for them... which I actually find hilarious. If you don't want anything spoiled, DO NOT READ THE SPOILER SECTION! Sigh.
Okay, I have a house to clean. And you? You have a book to read.

My skin did seriously pay last time. Ah well, can't do much.
Thanks Pyro
Oh I hate this...
Hi Kal!!!¡¡¡!!!
*hugs*
Hey Kal
*hugs back*
*hugs pyro too because she forgot*
Btw, I commented on Purple Roses part 2. Sorry for not commenting earlier…
I read it a long time ago but I never commented, then Chan read it and thought I hadn't because I hadn't commented. So now I have commented and prooved that I have read it.
Quin! Pyro! Kal!
~glomps them all~
How are you guys doing?
meh...dinner time.
*hugs again* Hope things will magically suck less when I return...
Bye Lego!!!¡¡¡!!!
I'm gonna try and go to sleep again...
Hopefully you won't all see me til tomorrow!
Night!
I has a cold…
Bye Quinn!!!¡¡¡!!!
Hi Skyril! Terrible but getting better. Bye Skyril!
Bye Legolas! Should be, loads of cool people are on, and I am out for tonight!
Yay! Piggyback ride!
Night!
Aw, farewell, Quin!
~waves madly~
Well, I'm glad you're getting better, at least :D
See you later!
Goodnight!
You can't fear the night,
If you've lived your whole life without light,
And you can't hate the dish,
If you've only ever eaten fish,
And you can't feel alone,
If that's all you've ever known.
Oh the deep sea angler fish it has no reason to be happy
But she has no frickin' idea, what else to beeeeeeeeeeeee.
Hi Skyril!!!¡¡¡!!!
*hugs*
Q
Qq
Hey, Pyro, Kal's dad got home, and she had to leave for a bit. SHe said she'd be back later though and hopes you will still be here :]
Q
That's a pretty awesome poem :D I like it!
WOOT!!!
I claim this page for my awesome friends on the blog!
Ah, congratulations, Pyro!
~cheers and awards him with a lollipop~
Aww,
Bye Kal!!!¡¡¡!!!
I didn't write that song, Hank Green did.
Well, I still like it :P
Did you know someone has given Derek a unicorn?
I GOT THE BOOK I GOT THE BOOK IT GOT DEATH BRINGEEEERRRRR!
I got Death Bringer in the mail yesterday, actually. I'm very protective of it. I freaked out when I got to school and saw the cover got bent a teeeeensy bit in my backpack.
It's always with meeeee...
*picks up the book from besides her bed and strokes it*
lol Yes I did know! I thought that was pretty awesome :D
Someone gave Derek a unicorn?
Maaaaar!
~glomps~
I'm jealous! I can't wait to get my DB!
Kal! Welcome back!
~hugs~
*hugs Skyril back*
*giggles*
Hi Mar!!!¡¡¡!!!
*hugs*
WB Kallista!!!¡¡¡!!!
*hugs*
*grins*
LOL, thanks for your comment, Kal! And sort of. It was similar to a dream I had the other night, anyway. Some things are added and some things I know I forgot, and some things I didn't include because it was a rather long, random dream. :P
*hugs everyone*
*skips around, laughing madly*
~has hiccups~
~doesn't like hiccups~
*gives Skyril a glass of water*
The screens all dusty...
*blows on the screen*
What did they say?
And who was it?
*sighs*
I'm curious as to what the person said but it's pretty difficult to state that fact without seeming nervous or suspicious. Which is odd…
back!
*hugs pyro as she forgot to do so before*
WB Lgolas!!!¡¡¡!!!
…
I'm looking for a girlfriend?
News to me…
*arches eyebrow thoughtfully*
Welcome back, Lego!
~glomps~
Wah! Dinner!
(I realized I was staring at my ipod with a hungry look on my face...)
Bye!
I don't think I've spoken to Iris in a while either…
Bye Mar!!!¡¡¡!!!
Bye mar!
And that's really weird...maybe she thought you were hinting at something? Only explanation I can think of...
LOL see you later, Mar!
~waves madly~
Yeah, maybe so, Lego. That seems reasonable
Hmm…
yay! *is reasonable for once in her life*
aw...bye kallista! *chocolate hugs*
Aw, alright, Kal. See you later!
~Hugs~
Bye Kallista!!!¡¡¡!!!
LOL, Lego :P I think you're reasonable upon occasion :P
:D my ideas usually end up sounding like conspiracy theories but with unicorns and man eating televisions...so reasonable is quite the improvement. =p
…
Anyone still here?
lol, yeah, sorry, Pyro :P
WOW that was a late reply
O.o
o.O
I didn't realize I'd been gone so long. Sorry :/
I hope you're still there, Pyro...
Hmm…
brb
Kk Skyril!!!¡¡¡!!!
Back!
sorry pyro...forgot to say that I was going. But no longer am I gone! For I have fought the beast that bears the name of my math, and I have remained VICTORIOUS!
*super hugs kallista*
here if you want to talk about it. If not...I'm here to hug you, like usual.
Aw, I'm sorry, Kal
~hugs~
I hope they do their own thing and leave you alone tonight
Woot woot! ~cheers on the victorious Lego~
Hey, Kal, would you like some internet ice cream?
~offers her a bowl of her favorite kind~
~hopes Kallista can come back soon~
sorry to abandon you again, pryo. I am here...I'm just crap at making conversation.
KAAALIIIIIISSSSSTAAA! *showers her with large amounts of wedding cake*
Yay! A wonderfully magical hug from Kallista!!
~gives her a cupcake~ :D
I LOVED THE BOOK!!! (Just finished it an hour ago.)
So awesome, the twist in the middle was completely unexpected! And now... I'm stuck with the fact that I have to wait until March for another dose of Skulduggery awesomeness...
Anyone here?
Kallista! *squishes*
What are you trying to doodle a pic of?
Happy Kal is good. :-D
Sorry, my internet is slow... as usual, I guess.
hey is anybody on probz not
I'm here... but it's like 13mins after...
Guess you're not here... meh.
I have to go to school now. I'll be on tonight, bye!
SMELLO?
aw, man! I wish my school internet wasn't so funny.
*glares at internet*
*internet is scared*
REG
*tries to laugh*
*winces*
Stupid circuit training. Y U HAVE TO BE SO STUPID.
*sighs*
*is reading through the old comments just to pass the time*
WHAT!? KYRE?! YOU GOT ON FIRST PAGE?!!! AGAIN?!!!! *strangles Kyre*
*gasps in horror*
ghost... he's.... he's.... abandoned Skulduggery!!!!!
*collapses on floor, crying*
I CAN'T FREAKING BELIEVE IT, DAMMIT!
*has another hour*
*goes to sleep* I still be here though. And if anyone comes online, just wave at the screen and say a big HI and I'll respond.
For the meantime, I'll be.... doing something.
*vanishes in a flurry of shadows*
*is getting sick and tired of pressing the refresh button*
Expected as much, though.
okay. It has been decided. I will get off now, and probably get on again later. See you guys. Thanks for not answering. :D
Another thing.
Deat Derek,
I hope you do receive this message from me because if you don't, I will go berserk. As berserk as a hamster without its food. Yes, a hamster.
In any case, Kyre, ghost, oliver and I are ALL hoping that you'll come to Singapore. Now I'm not going to tell you about how Kyre and I fangirl over you, but instead I'm going to say this:
You have to come to Singapore. I'd do anything (within reasonable limits, duh.) for you and if you do come...
*trembles*
*can't say anymore*
*vanishes in a flurry of shadows*
gah...someone please come on...haven't seen most of you for a while. By which I mean 3 days, but whatever.
sorry bb...was asleep.
Wow. Lego. I can't believe I missed you ;-;
I spelled 'Dear' wrongly. What WAS wrong with me?
asdfghgjkl; the house just shook from thunder. Stupid monsoons.
I'll be on xat chat, if any one comes online. www.xat.com/AquilaFelis
On the blog! Yep rave! On the blog!
III AM ON THE BLOOGGG, everyone else is on chat. I'm on chat too. I can multitask! :D
hi izzy, how r u?
Will you be bringing back Rupert Degas for the audio books? We love his voices.
from Reuben, aged 8
omg, what would u do, if skulduggery pleasant was turned into a disney show AND valkyrie was miley cyrus
i would scream...
...
i think i would throw up...
and be scarred for life
HEY Mr.Landy.
I was reading your comments, and some of them are really funny. As funny as your book even.
(I don't want to add to your ego, but they are now my FAVOURITE series)
I just wanted to ask, on the really odd chance that your reading this, (as the 3700 and one comment) is there really going to be a movie?
IN which case, I'm sure you know when the auditions are for the characters. Is it strictly only for those who are famous, experienced or at least have their own agents? If not, (as I am none of the above) do you think you could email me with the dates?
My email is:
Eclecticness@hotmail.co.uk
Yours-much-in-excitement,
ME
P.s I hope I'm not being annoying. I know you have better things to do with your time. Like write the new book, but I thought I'd better ask!
Uhhh i am having a massive writing block gaawwwdd
Hmmmmm.................................
i gtg, ill be on tomorrow or tonight sometime, bye all

Department 19 fanfic on my blog.

So lonely...
Aimza (a.k.a Crazy Duck Girl)
You still here? I'm here for like a few minutes whilst I'm waiting for my friends to come round...
Anyway... hi there.
OMG hi.
Lol, not aure what's with the OMG but, I babble.
Helloooo Vanaeraaaahhh.
Are you well? I'm well... as always... :D
Hey.
I'm well... I guess.
ENOUGH ABOUT ME!
I'm too self-obsessed anyway, so hows you? I know u said you're well and crud but I want to know about your robo-duckies and all L.O.L
:D
Spill x
Umm... nothing to spill really.
A lot of Tech lessons and I haz a robotic rubber duck that got me an A...
It doesn't float... because it's like metal and had a really bad paint job but they're fun to dance with...
At least I've got a date to prom and all...

I'm sure you'll find a human date for your prom lol x
Glad you got an A though lol :D
Oo-goo! : )
Hey folks!
Hi everybody
OMG You listen to the Yogscast?!?!
Hey Quinn x
Vita! Aimza! Nae!
How you guys doing?
Yeah, course I listen to the Yogscast!
Oh gotta go now see yaaaa!
Aww... Bye Nae!
Bye Vanaeraaaah...
Heeeelllloooo friends.
???
Sorry Aimza... Writing a little poem.
Hope
Let me see something in the darkness
The flicker of the candlelight
I pray for it to never stray from my sight
I pray for the light to never waver
Let me take my candle and shine it
Not just for myself
But let me light the candles of my friends,
And enemies and strangers too.
Let me fill the world with our quivering lights
Some burn strong and bright
Some are frail and weak
But together they glow in sheer brilliance.
Let me prevent the inevitable
Of a candle being extinguished
By snide, isolation and false truth.
Let these victims see and share my light.
Let me hold my candle high
For all to see
I pray that you see my candle.
I pray that you share it’s light.
Gah. My poetry skills have died.
So cliché...
*sighs*
Blop.
